Kathleen Edwards learned to play classical violin (like Sharon did when she was young). However, Canada does a great fiddling tradition, a lot of it coming from the East Coast. The famed Cape Breton style has influenced the entire breadth of the country. There's also the traditional country fiddle influence also found in the States. Here are just a few samples of Canada's fine female fiddlers:
Natalie MacMaster (http://www.nataliemacmaster.com/)
Natalie is primarily a traditional Cape Breton fiddler (and dancer, too!) but she has released some pop music as well.
Sierra Noble (http://www.sierranoble.ca/)
Sierra Dawn Sky Noble is from Winnipeg, Manitoba (city that gave us The Guess Who)
Lisa MacIsaac (of Madison Violet http://www.madisonviolet.com/)
Lisa is also great with a guitar and mandolin. Her brother Ashley MacIsaac is also a famous fiddler.
Kendel Carson (http://kendelcarson.com/)
Kendel really goes to town in this performance with the Dustin Bentall Outfit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEffqbktjDA
Claire Pettit (of the Cape Breton trad band, The Cottars http://www.thecottars.ca/)
The Cottars have put out four albums; I have two: Forerunner (2006) and Feast (2010) - both excellent albums. They had some changes to the band lineup between the third and fourth albums, and I believe that they have used another fiddler besides Claire in recent years.
There are so many more. I only name a few that I have learned about.
